Three Reasons to Buy a New Vehicle
Your car is on the fritz, or maybe you’re commuting and need a vehicle with better fuel economy. Perhaps you have a teenage driver at home who has been eyeing your faithful family taxi, which means you’ll be without wheels if you don’t find a replacement soon. Either way, a vehicle purchase is in your future, but you’re unsure if a new vehicle is the way to go. To make your decision journey a little easier, SJ Denham is here to help.
Why Buy New?
If you’re like most, the first thing that comes to mind when you picture yourself stepping into a new ride is that delicious eau du new car smell. What else do you think of? New car warranties. You feel confident knowing factory warranties begin the day you drive your new vehicle home; it gives you peace of mind that if anything goes wrong, the manufacturer will take care of it. And, you like the fact that you will be the first to put miles on your shiny new vehicle.
These elements alone are enough to make you want to start shopping for a new car. But now, more than ever, there are solid, practical reasons that make today the perfect time to turn your dream of owning a new car into a reality. Why? Low interest rates, high trade-in values and improved models.
Low Interest Rates
Customers looking to finance a vehicle should continue to enjoy record-low rates over the coming months. According to Forbes.com, low interest rates will remain until at least mid-2013. This means affordable credit is readily available to new-car buyers.
SJ Denham is currently offering rates as low as 0% for up to 36 months, plus up to $500 cash allowance on select models. Low interest rates result in lower monthly payments, which means you get more car for your money!
Trade-in Values Are at An All-Time High
The 2007-2009 recession saw fewer trade-ins and leases, which resulted in a used-vehicle shortage and high used-vehicle demand. This combination led to the slowing of used vehicle depreciation rates, consequently boosting their value.
What does this mean to you? By trading in your used vehicle now, you will likely receive top trade-in value. Substantial down payment equals lower monthly car payment.
Improved Models
Just as Jeep has improved this year’s model of the Grand Cherokee, companies are redesigning vehicles to be budget friendly, high-tech and, like the new Dodge Dart, driver-centered. The latest models are safer than ever and are built to be more fuel-efficient without sacrificing performance or utility.
If purchasing a new vehicle just isn’t in your budget, let’s look at the value of purchasing a brand spanking used vehicle, or Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle. Join us next week when we explore “3 reasons to buy a CPOV.”
